prefabricated breakfast to the
line of frozen TV dinners.
Some experts are predicting
that it will destroy the last
remnants of Western civiliza
tion.
Have Offsetting Factors
I agree that a TV breakfast
will further weaken the fab
ric of our society, but there
are offsetting factors that de
ter me from enlisting in the
campaign against it.
I have found that the alumi
num trays the meals come in
are just dandy for coloring
Easter eggs.
It is much the same with
an appeal for help that I re
ceived from William L. Hop
per, crusading assistant city
editor of the Greenville (Ohio)
Advocate.
"My lofty position enables
me to spread my influence to
quite a number of readers,"
Hopper wrote, "but there
may be a few million readers
outside my sphere."
Cut Away Untruth
Therefore, he urged that I
draw upon my experience as
a crusader lo help "cut away
a veil of untruth" that is be
ing draped across the nation
in the daily press.
"This cancerous fiction that
becomes more wide spread
each day is the way that 'the
weatherman' is used in papers
from coast to coast," Hopper
explained.
His crusade is directed at
news stories which read: "The
weatherman dumped seven
inches ot rain here last night
before bringing in 102-degree
temperatures today. For to
night and tomorrow, the
weatherman will bring hail
mixed with sleet, partly fol
lowed by tornadoes."
It is his contention that a
weatherman couldn't possibly
cause such abrupt climatic
changes. In the interest of sci
entific accuracy, he says,
such stories should read: "The
weatherwoman, etc."
Although it pains me to
turn down a colleague, I 111 us

crusade on. grounds that it

Local Participation
In Oregon Program
Reviewed at Lunch
The Medford project in the
Oregon Program for the Im
provement of Education was
presented to the Medford
Chamber of Commerce
Roundlable Monday at lunch
eon at North's Chuck Wagon
by William Ruck, director.
Miss Patricia Leclair of the
four - member Lexington,
Mass. team, here for the work
shop, which has moved into
its second week at the Hoover
school, was also a luncheon
guest.
Miss Leclair told the cham
ber of commerce group that
she had found Medford the
most hospitable place she had
ever been and that she was
particularly happy with the
weather.
Emphasizing that team
teaching is "not mass instruc
tion but provides more oppor
tunity for individual instruc
tion," Ruck devoted most of
his time to the senior high
school phases of the project.
The workshop at Hoover
school, however, he explained,
it "strictly elementary."
Under the flexible schedul
ing that has been adopted as
part of the project, Ruck re
vealed, Medford teachers, who
have had not more than 10
minutes for lunch will have
a duty free lunch hour.
They will be the only ones
in the state, he commented,
to have this lunch hour. Some
will have an 11 a.m. to noon
lunch hour and others noon
to 1 p.m.
Students will be offered
four lunch periods, each 30
minutes in length, and a
special group guidance pro
gram, which will run concur
rently. To be specific, Rusk
said, 500 students will be at
lunch while another 500 are
in the group guidance session
and the other 1,000 in class
rooms. When they exchange
places everyone will have
been cared for and instructors
will have had what many ex
perts have maintained they
need - a duty free lunch hour.
Question Is Asked
The explanation came when
someone asked "When do
teachers eat?" demonstrating
that this situation also has
been of concern to chamber
of commerce members.
The sliding schedule which
will enable students to start
the school day at three differ
ent times was explained by
the director, who emphasized
that provision, however, will
be made for the student who
wants to come early and stay
late.
Another area in which the
Medford project is unique in
the Oregon program, Ruck
said, is in the extension of
the teacher intern or associate
teacher program to two years
instead of one.
Making clear his conten
tion that team teaching is not
mass education, Rusk used a
projector and chart, demon
strating the manner in which
the large lecture group is
broken down into normal
class size and into much small
er seminar groups to give
every student an opportunity
for active participation.
Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield,
superintendent of Med ford
schools, added that he is con-
Daughter Persuades Father to Give Up
Russelville, Ala. - HIPP - A
moonshiner who killed a sher
iff and a police chief with a
single shotgun blast walked
out of the woods with his
hands held high Monday
when his teen-age daughter
begged him to surrender.
"I'm very, very sorry it
all happened," said Troy
Thornton, 40, who gave up
without a fight when he
heard his daughter, Carolyn,
18, plead with him to sur
render over a highway patrol
car loudspeaker.
Thornton, who was placed
in jail here, faces first degree
murder charges in the Sun
day afternoon shooting.
A slender man who has
twice been convicted of moon
shining, Thornton had been
told by his doctor he has can
cer and has only a few months
to live, his relatives said.
"He thought he didn't have
vinced that the schools are
doing a better job of basic
education through the Oregon
Program, obtained and ap
proved by the state board of
education, and that "history is
being made in Oregon."

told officers.
Thornton was accused of
killing Sheriff Herman (Red)
Cook and Littlcville Police
Chief Neil Pace with a singla
shotgun blast and critically
wounding Deputy Don Files
with a rifle shot. Another
deputy who had gone to
Thornton's house to investi
